hello from Billericay Essex
« on: April 18, 2011, 07:33:38 pm »
Hello Everyone, stumbled on this website by accident but think it will be great for me!
I have a full time business, but would love to have a proper smallholding, at moment have an acre field that at the moment has some raised beds for growing veggies, last year I had some fruit trees put in and this year I have added another three trees - Walnut, victoria plum and comice pear - all looking good at the moment - I have 3 chickens (was 4 but the fox got my rhode island red -  :(   and 2  ducks !
\looking forward to chatting with some experienced growers and chicken duck keepers!

Hi welcome from Brittany.  We have 2 walnut trees here.  They produce quite a good crop most years.  Hilary our large pig feasts on them.
